One subcontractor for the HVAC and refrigeration scope — design-build the mechanical system, develop the controls, and close turnover with documentation that satisfies the owner and the AHJ. We bid promptly, coordinate cleanly with the rest of the MEP team, hold our schedule, and read drawings as fluently as we install. Class A A/C licensed (FL CAC1824642), Autodesk Certified Pro in Revit MEP, EPA 608 Universal, OSHA 30, fully insured — with a Florida PE of record on sealed work.
Hand us a performance basis and we deliver the mechanical scope design-build — load calcs, equipment selection, duct and piping layouts, and a sealed set where required. Below the Florida contractor thresholds we self-perform the design; above them we carry a PE of record. How design-build works →
Bid and build to the engineer's set on design-bid-build jobs — packaged rooftop, split, VRF, chilled water, AHUs, exhaust and makeup air. We coordinate the field conditions the drawings did not show.
Sequences of operation, points lists, and vendor-neutral controls scope so the owner is not locked to one controls house. We coordinate the controls contractor or self-deliver the scope.
Walk-in coolers and freezers, line refrigeration, prep tables, ice, beverage and display cases — for restaurant, grocery, c-store, and hospitality build-outs. DX systems.
Exhaust hoods, makeup-air balance, and the dehumidification that keeps a Florida back-of-house dry. The HVAC-to-refrigeration coordination most subs miss.
Startup, controls validation, functional performance testing against the sequences, balancing coordination, and a documented owner package — refrigerant and EPA 608 records on file.
New office, retail, mixed-use, and institutional buildings needing a full mechanical system — design-build or plan-and-spec. Any size, chilled water to rooftop.
Office, medical, and retail TI where HVAC and controls are part of a broader fit-out. Coordinating with finish, electrical, plumbing, and ceiling.
Kitchen HVAC, makeup air, and the refrigeration that pairs with it — from white-box through turnover, on new construction or shell improvements.
Store HVAC plus refrigeration scope — display cases, walk-ins, beer caves, fountain ice. New stores, rebrands, and remodels. DX and CO2 systems.
School, university, government, and CCRC projects — central plant or distributed, dining-hall refrigeration, multi-building campus mechanical scope.
Chiller, RTU, and AHU replacements and controls upgrades inside occupied-building renovation work, phased to your schedule.
Drawings reviewed within 5 business days. Equipment schedule, controls scope, refrigerant strategy, utility connections, and exclusions clearly listed. Lump-sum or unit-priced — your preference.
RFIs answered in 24–48 hours. Coordination with electrical, plumbing, structural, and roofing for equipment placement, refrigerant and hydronic routing, and roof penetrations. We model in Revit MEP.
We work alongside your other subs, not around them — joint coordination walks where the ceiling is tight and the schedule is tighter.
Long-lead equipment — chillers, custom AHUs, switchgear-fed units — flagged at bid and tracked weekly. Onsite work staged to your master schedule, not improvised against it.
Charge and controls verified, sequences tested, balancing coordinated, owner walkthrough completed. Functional performance testing documented.
Equipment manuals, warranty registration, as-builts, controls sequences, startup and commissioning reports, and recommended PM cadence — handed off as a single owner package.
Florida Class A A/C Contractor (CAC1824642, exp. 08/31/2026) — no system-size ceiling on the install. EPA 608 Universal. OSHA 30 Construction. Autodesk Certified Pro, Revit MEP. State-level license recognized statewide.
For mechanical scope that requires a sealed design, we engage a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer of record — so a design-build subcontract closes clean with the AHJ at any project size.
General liability, workers' comp, and auto at levels appropriate for commercial GC work. Certificates issued promptly with named additional insured language as required.
W-9, COI, references, and project history on request. Pre-qualification packets handled by Daniel Reyes (founder) directly, typically turned around within a week.
We tell you when a project is outside our scope rather than struggle through it. The line is drawn around industrial refrigeration — not around HVAC size:
On the HVAC side there is no size ceiling — chilled water plants, cooling towers, and large VRF are all in scope as design-build with our PE of record.
Email PDFs (architectural, MEP, equipment schedule if available) to bids@suncoastcold.com. Include site address, target schedule, and bid due date.
For TI and renovation projects with field conditions that affect scope, we walk the site before pricing. Coordinate with your superintendent.
If your firm requires pre-qualification before bidding, send the package to bids@suncoastcold.com — we typically turn it around within a week.
